The Anthony Davis Effect - How Did His First Final Four Game Stack Up?

     The Kentucky Wildcats defeat the Louisville Cardinals 69-61 to move on to the National Championship game.  This is the first time that Kentucky has made it to the final game since 1998.  Of course, it has been a team effort for our beloved Wildcats to reach this last stage in the game of college basketball.  Clearly, this team is lead by super freshman Anthony Davis.  He has led the Cats all season long and this Final Four game was no different.
     To be quite honest, Anthony Davis' performance tonight was historic when compared to other in the history of the Final Four.  Davis did what he has done best all season, everything.  He scored 18 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and swatted 5 Louisville shot attempts.  The last person to record over 15 points, over 10 rebounds , and over 5 blocks in Final Four game was Danny Manning.  That was in 1988. If my math is correct that means it hasn't been done in 24 years.  Pretty spectacular if you ask me.
